Creating delicious grilled clams with lemon parsley butter can be easy if you follow these simple steps:

1. Start by preheating your grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, lemon juice, chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
3. Blend the mixture until it is well combined, creating your lemon parsley butter.
4. Place the clams on a large sheet of aluminum foil. If you prefer, you can grill them directly on the grates if they have a deep shell.
5. Dollop a generous amount of the lemon parsley butter on top of each clam.
6. Fold the foil into a pouch, ensuring a tight seal to keep the flavors trapped.
7. Place the clam pouch on the preheated grill and close the lid.
8. Grill for about 10-15 minutes, or until the clams have opened up. Discard any clams that remain closed.
9. Carefully remove the pouch from the grill and let it sit for a minute to cool slightly.
10. Serve the grilled clams with extra lemon wedges and additional melted butter on the side, if desired.
